Long caricatured and lampooned, the American South continues to fascinate and provide fertile fields for storytelling for its natives, especially its young gay men.

Told in the soft accents of the gay men who know both the horror and tenderness that is their heritage, Rebel Yell is a singular collection of tragic, heartwarning and humorous tales.
